Abstract: |
A large and handsome brick meeting house of 1821/3, replacing an earlier meeting house on a different site in the town but apparently built on an existing walled burial ground, which is still in use. The building is said to incorporate various improvements suggested in William Alexander's Observations on....Meeting Houses, which was published in York in 1820.The building was very well restored in 1993 and contains two large meeting rooms with panelled timber screens. The site as a whole is of high heritage significance Evidential value The building was apparently built on part of an existing burial ground. The original interior is substantially intact but there may be evidence of some lost features, like the original hot air heating system. The building is of medium evidential value. Historical value A very well-preserved example of a substantial early nineteenth century meeting house, which is of high historical value. Aesthetic value The plain brick exterior of the building is attractive and the interior of the main building preserves a great deal of its original character. The building is of high aesthetic value. Communal value The meeting house has been used more or less continuously by Quakers since its opening in 1823 and more recently by other community groups. The building has high communal value. |
